I don’t know if I’m ready to live in a world where the Toyota Supra is coming back oh my god I’m hyperventilating please yes I am painfully excited for Toyota’s idea of a world-conquering sports car to return.

These new images of Toyota testing a prototype of the car show what very much looks like a production-ready development of the Toyota FT-1 concept we saw back in 2014. It looks every bit like a big brother to the Toyota GT86, only weirder. Weird is good.

Anyone with a casual interest in the goings on of the car world will probably think ‘oh right, the new Supra—wasn’t that supposed to come out like ten years ago?’

No, it only felt like it.

Everyone has been expecting a new Supra ever since the old one grew too big and too expensive and too good for this world for Toyota to keep making it. For a while there, the only people buying Corvette-priced sports cars were middle-aged boomers who only bought Corvettes. So Toyota let the turbocharged, straight six, rear-drive Supra die off, to be fantasized and idolized and priced out by Fast and Furious types.
